I think this is a good example of something you can vibe-code today. (though maybe not as good)

I went to gemini, picked "cavnas". used this prompt

> There's a famous CG scene in the movie Hackers where they "Hack the Gibson". It shows a bunch of translucnt cubes with glowing edges. The textures on the cubes are live computer text. The camera slowly flyies between the cubes tilting gracfully and it searches for the main one.

> Reproduce this scene in Javascript. Be sure to include each of those features

> 1. live computer text which you can simulate by drawing to a canvas offscreen and uploading to a texture, adding more output as it goes. You can even use "function.toString()" of the code you write as input

> 2. a post processing step so we get a glow

> You can probably use three.js for this

Here's the result.

No, it's not as good as the site linked above and it's unlikely it would be. On other hand, it got this far on the first try. Maybe a few more iterations and it could get the stuff you want.
